Event logo with yarn, knitting needles, crochet hooks, and hearts in blue and yellow; banner features popcorn and remote icons.

The free event includes access to the Netflix & Chill concentration level, which features relaxing stitch patterns that are easy to memorize and enjoyable to work.

These stitches are designed to be:

• rhythmic
• beginner-friendly
• relaxing to stitch

They’re perfect for crafting while watching your favorite show, chatting with friends, or simply enjoying a peaceful stitching session.

You can fully participate in the event using this concentration and still learn new stitches while stitching alongside the community.

But if you want to explore even more stitch techniques, there is also an optional upgrade available.

  • Gauge is not critical for this project.  Just note that if your gauge is larger than the one listed, you will have a larger project that uses more yarn then listed. 
  • Repeat directions between brackets [ ] for the number of times listed.
  • Place stitches between parentheses ( ) all in the same indicated stitch. 
  • Place Marker in the center stitch and move throughout.  
  • Place Marker in the first RS row to help remember which rows are RS. 
  • Dividers should match throughout the pattern.  If you started Play 1 with Netflix and Chill, use Netflix and Chill directions (front loop only rows) for all your dividers. 
  • Play 1:
    • Project is worked from the center out into a triangle. 
    • Change color when there are 2 loops left of the previous stitch. Carry Color A up side of the project.  Colors B, C, and D can be fastened off after use. 
  • Play 2:
    • Play 2 is an arrow in shape.  It increases in the center of every row and decreases at the beginning and end of every row. 
    • Color changes are not shown on the stitch diagram. Use the written directions for when to change colors.
